September 30, 2025 โ Cebu was shaken. Fear arose and the safety once felt within the four walls of our homes was no longer guaranteed. The northern part of Cebu, Bogo City โ the earthquakeโs epicenter woke up with their homes destroyed and communities disoriented. Lives were lost, many were injured, homes and infrastructures were left in ruins. Within just a few minutes, Cebuanos were left vulnerable in the face of natureโs powerful force.
Earthquakes are among the deadliest natural disasters, striking without any warnings. People can just go on about their day and in an instant โ with an earthquake, everything can come trembling down. Against nature's power. earthquakes are something that we cannot predict and prevent. The only thing we can do is to be aware, prepare and remember.
